Qu\u00e9bec City, June 7, 2019<\/strong> \u2013 At its annual convention, the Quebec Mining Association (QMA) recognized the outstanding performance of three mining companies in the field of workplace health and safety during the year and presented F.J. O\u2019Connell trophies to highlight their achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning companies are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 In the “Underground mining \u2013 under 400,000 hours worked” category:
o Monarch Gold Corporation\u2019 Beaufor Mine;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 In the “Underground mining \u2013 over 400,000 hours worked” category:

The trophies have been awarded every year since 1966 to raise awareness among workers and supervisors of the importance of teamwork in preventing accidents in mining operations. To reward a high-performance level, the criteria for the awards take into account improvements in performance, performance compared to the industry average, and the combined accident rate based on pre-determined target values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quotes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Workplace health and safety is a overriding concern for the mining industry, and this is why the Quebec Mining Association has, for over 50 years, presented F.J. O\u2019Connell trophies to highlight outstanding performance by mining companies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Workplace health and safety is a strongly-anchored value. Thanks to the efforts made every day to prevent accidents, the accident rate continues to improve, making the mining industry a model to follow. Despite these enviable results, however, we cannot rest on our laurels and must continue to strive, on a daily basis, to improve working methods to ensure that Quebec’s mining industry remains a leader in the field of workplace health and safety. Workers are a priceless resource for our industry, and we must spare no effort to ensure their health and safety.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Jos\u00e9e M\u00e9thot, QMA president and CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
